Finally,
After a couple of weeks of fine combing through messages, I found a fix, tried
it, and it now works. For some reason, there seems to be a lot of questions on
this very subject, but very few answers. At any rate, I finally found a thread
in c.o.l.networking with replies, and the replies mainly went as shown below:
==========================================================
I ran into this problem and fixed it by the following. I'm not sure
why this works so, I don't know if this is the "right" way to do it:
(Using "make menuconfig")
- Under "Code maturity level options" select
"Prompt for development and/or incomplete drivers"
- Under "Filesystems->Network File Systems" select "Y" for NFS server
support. (I *think* you can build it as a module also, but
you may need to manually load the nfsd module.)
- Despite the above, continue using the user space NFS drivers.
YMMV.

=============================================
Indeed, making the NFS server and daemon support compiled in the kernel, instead
of being a module, fixed my problem. I will now try it on my new compile on
2.2.12smp. If it doesn't work, then you'll see me post here again.
Thomas, see if this also fixes your problem and let me know.
Sidenote: The replies also warn to avoid using linux-2.2.11 for using NFS.
